About this listen
All people are equal but, as Human Diversity explores, all groups of people are not the same - a fascinating investigation of the genetics and neuroscience of human differences.
The thesis of Human Diversity is that advances in genetics and neuroscience are overthrowing an intellectual orthodoxy that has ruled the social sciences for decades. The core of the orthodoxy consists of three dogmas:
- Gender is a social construct.
- Race is a social construct.
- Class is a function of privilege.
The problem is that all three dogmas are half-truths. They have stifled progress in understanding the rich texture that biology adds to our understanding of the social, political, and economic worlds we live in.
It is not a story to be feared. "There are no monsters in the closet," Murray writes, "no dread doors we must fear opening." But it is a story that needs telling. Human Diversity does so without sensationalism, drawing on the most authoritative scientific findings, celebrating both our many differences and our common humanity.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Uncontroversial Statistical Analysis
Charles Murray does it again, another uncontroversial book for today's political correct climate. A must read for every progressive feminist leftist. Remember to use the graphs and accompanying text.

Utterly Worthwhile Reading
The Author spoke to the soul. Data driven and persuasive. This book explains genetics with a level of clarity which I could not imagine prior to reading.

Fine addition to Murray's Work
Book lacks as much of a central point as Human Accomplishment but is still great.

A very informative book on differences between humans whether they are between males and females, races or between people of different classes.

Great for getting the state of the science
Lots of stats that are hard to follow in audio but not really a major obstacle to understand the point of the argument. Very good for getting an up-to-date state of the science.
